IMPROVEMENT IN BASIN-FAUCETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 179,608, dated July 4, 1876; application Iiled May 22, 1876.

To all whom fit may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN S. RICH, of' the eity, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Nozzle Cook, of which the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l represents a vertical central section of my irnproved nozzleeock; and Fig. 2, a horizontal section of the saine on line x Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention will first be described in oonneetion with drawing, and then pointed out in the claims.

In the drawing, A represents a water -pipe for basins, tubs, or sinks, which is secured to the pillar or wall, and provided at the lowest point within the basin, Snc., with a compression-valve, B, seated in the nozzle C, and secured by a screw socket or sleeve, D, to the threaded collar E of pipe A. The position of the compression-valve at the end of the pipe A prevents the leaking or dripping at any other point, as the drip-water is conveyed directly into the basin, instead ot' running down the pipe, or between slab and basin, and thereby prevented from injuring the floor and spoiling the ceiling below.

The nozzle C is screwed into the sleeve D, and the valve supported on a central seat, a, of the nozzle, the stem b of the valve B passing through the perforated support. The nozzle may be unserewed at any nioment from the sleeve when the valve commences to leak, and a new rubber or other packing placed into the seat of the valve. The nozzle is then serewed on again, and the cook is then perfeotly tight, the whole operation being aecomplished in a short'time, without requiring` the shutting oft' of the water.

The sleeve D is provided with a rim or flange, D', by which it may be taken hold of for turning the cook on or oft', the valve being withdrawn from the end ofthe water-pipe when the sleeve is screwed down, so as to discharge the water, being screwed tightly up again when the supply is to be sluit off.

The sleeve is drawn in closely at the upper end around the pipe A, so that it will be prevented froin escape, loss, orreinoval by the collar E of the pipe; hence,

1. The combination of sleeve D with pipe A, having collar E, the sleeve being drawn in at the top about the pipe and above its eollar E, as and for the purpose specified.`

2. The combination of the sleeve D, oonstrueted as described, the nozzle G, and valve B, substantially as and for the purpose specitied.
